Total Under 219.0 (-114)

Take OKC - San Antonio UNDER (#555-556)

This series has not been played with much pace, with a 96.3 pace rating through the first three games.  Both teams were Over 100 in pace ratings during the regular season; the Spurs were over 100 in the first two series they played this postseason.  And yet we’ve seen three Overs in the first three games; only one of which was a ‘bad beat’ for Under bettors, when Game 1 snuck Over the total in overtime.  The betting markets haven’t made a major adjustment upwards despite the three straight Overs to open the series. Game 4 has all the makings of a defensive struggle between two elite defensive squads coming off a game where BOTH teams were getting to the free throw line and BOTH teams were hitting three pointers in bunches.  Expect a lesser offensive flow on Sunday.  Take the UNDER.

Oklahoma City quickly erased a 15-0 deficit only minutes into the game to defeat San Antonio 123-108 in Game 3 Friday night, taking a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference finals. San Antonio’s opening run was the longest to start a conference finals game since play-by-play tracking began in 1997. The Thunder’s bench was the storyline Friday night, outscoring San Antonio’s bench 76-23. The Spurs’ upset loss in Game 3 is significant because NBA playoff home favorites coming off a loss are 352-276-8 ATS (56.1%), while .720 or greater home favorites entering off an upset loss as favorites are 317-254-10 to the Under (55.5%). Moreover, NBA playoff underdogs of +4 or less (or favorites) coming off a home loss are 219-169-9 to the Under (56.3%), including 102-77-2 UNDER (57%) since 2016, going under by an average margin of 2.3 points per game. Let’s also note that NBA playoff underdogs coming off back-to-back wins, like Oklahoma City, are 244-199-8 to the Under (55.1%). Finally, both teams have been going over the total like clockwork. Specifically, San Antonio has gone over in eight consecutive games, while the Thunder have gone over in six straight. Those results are significant because NBA playoff teams coming off five or more consecutive overs are 52-33-2 to the Under (61.2%), including 25-11-1 UNDER (69.4%) since 2016, going under by an average margin of 6.0 points per game. Take the Under as Jeff Keim’s Free Pick Winner for Sunday, May 24.

Just 48 hours after erasing a stunning 22-point fourth-quarter deficit in Game 1, New York Knicks forward Josh Hart scored a playoff career-high 26 points in New York’s 109-93 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals Thursday night. Cleveland returns home after playing three consecutive road affairs, which is significant because NBA home favorites entering off three straight road games are 319-260-20 to the Under (55.1%) versus opponents arriving off a SU and ATS win, including 142-102-7 UNDER (58.2%) since the beginning of the 2020-21 season. Game 2 finished under the posted total, and NBA playoff underdogs coming off a win that went under total are 243-193-4 to the Under (55.7%), including 113-85-1 UNDER (57.1%) since 2015, going under by an average margin of 3.0 points per game. Let’s also note that NBA playoff underdogs entering off back-to-back wins, like New York, are 244-199-8 to the Under (55.1%) since 2006, while home favorites coming off a postseason loss are 243-202-7 to the Under (55%). Finally, NBA playoff teams coming off a game in the Eastern time zone are 632-490-27 to the Under (56.3%), provided they didn’t lose that game by more than seven points, including 236-177-4 UNDER (57.1%) since 2018. Take the Under as Jeff Keim’s Free Pick Winner for Saturday, May 23.

NBA Betting Picks Today, NBA Predictions Tonight 

One of the most refreshing aspects of NBA picks free from WagerTalk is the frequency with which they're offered.  These are not AI picks that are just churned out nonsensically a week in advance.  These NBA picks free that are made available for today and for tonight's NBA games reflect the most recent news, injury reports, trades, matchup evaluations and much more.  They're fresh, they're frequent, and they're spectacular. 
 

Free Against the Spread NBA Picks

ATS NBA bets are some of the most popular choices for NBA bettors.  They're also among the most difficult. NBA bettors, however, and NBA experts, can sometimes find a nice edge in ATS NBA betting - maybe a line doesn't totally take into account some statistics or maybe bettors have shifted the line incorrectly.

Maybe two teams match up in such a way that the spread is moot. Only you can find out by getting your picks free for NBA bets from us

Free NBA MoneyLine Predictions

NBA moneyline betting picks are free and common from WagerTalk.  You'll see them every day from WagerTalk's team. NBA moneyline betting could not be simpler. And makes your watching of the games pretty straightforward - you simply pick the NBA team that you think is going to win. A heavy favorite won't see a generous payout, but an underdog will.

Total Points, Over/Under Free NBA Predictions 

Grab WagerTalk's free NBA over under picks daily. An over under pick simply refers to whether or a team or combined total of teams points will end up being more (over) or less (under) than the designated line for that game.

If an over/under line for an NBA game is 201.5, and you place a bet on the over, you need the teams to combine for 202+ points. It's that simple. Over/under betting can also comes in halves and sometimes even quarters - and you can get longer odds if you select a less likely over/under line offered by a sportsbook.

If two high-scoring NBA teams match up, you could very well see some pretty extravagantly high overs - but that doesn't mean it's not worth taking a look - but check with our NBA expert handicappers first for their suggested free NBA picks!

Props & Parlay NBA Betting Picks - Free NBA Picks & Parlays

WagerTalk gives you free NBA player props and team props throughout the year.  The undisputed online leader in NFL and MLB player props, WagerTalk's expert prop bettors apply that knowledge to NBA props as well. 

Is there a tasty NBA player prop out there that you haven't noticed?  Maybe a not particularly good at rebounding guard is playing against a team that bombs away from long-range and bricks hard.  Maybe that player's over/under rebounds line is something like 3.  Well, in this matchup, he's got a good shot at knocking well past that 3 rebounds, making him a great NBA player prop pick - WagerTalk can find that prop. 

Guaranteed NBA Picks & NBA Hot Picks Today

Any premium NBA package purchased from WagerTalk has the option of making it a guaranteed NBA pick - which simply means you can insure your purchase.  

NBA Hot picks today and tonight are covered in both premium paid picks and NBA free picks - our NBA expert picks take a look at matchups that might be misconstrued by the current odds and show you ways to take advantage of potential mismatches.
